This is why some people believe technology has gotten to it peak, now we can only get faster cars, faster plane, faster internet, but nothing new.

Lol... Even we don't know what might be in 60 years time.
We might even think and look back and laugh about how we used smartphones and flat screen tvs and thought they were the best technology.
Kids of those times would definitely laugh.

Tbh nothing much, just look at mars, it in our solar system but we still haven't travel there yet, even the moon traveled were fake, so don't expected any fly car, that's a bad idea even, teleportation transportation, it's impossible.

We've reach the peak.

not really, there was a lot of things to explore as of 1900 now things are just stiff nothing new.

For the past 20 years no new technology, just faster versions of what is already there.

Right.....but I don't think technology has gotten to its peak just yet...I think all this are the foundations of what is yet to come.

Well if you understand the theory or relativity you'll understand that's impossible, nothing can travel faster than light not to talk of humans that have weight and occupy space.

Try to find out why humans are not yet traveling at the speed of sound even now that it's possible, by the way teleportation just means a faster way to travel, so nothing new.
